Hi All,
I received the following e-mail from someone hoping to identify and Irish short story.
If anyone can help please post!

Hi, Ms. Daly: I'm looking for a short story written by an Irish woman author and while I remember the story, I can't recall the title or author. The story is about a perfect wife who strays with a would-be lover, but everything goes horribly wrong with their intended tryst. Her mother and mother's best friend happen to be in the out-of-town restaurant where the lovers plan to meet. It's quite funny. I want to write a play based on this story and present it at the local university. Have you read this story? Any help you can offer would be most appreciated. I'm dying to write this but don't want to plagiarize. I want to be able to say that the play is based on this story by this author.

Thanks so much.

How interesting!

Unfortunately, I don't know the story, Catherine.

I'll put it on my blog. You never know...
If someone recognising it, do you have her contact details?
